I have a couple cruiser types with forward controls (Triumph Speedmasters). I still do not like them (forward controls), they feel awkward and it's like I'm off balance, not ready to respond. I've actually skidded the rear end when some animals ran out in front of me. Really notice them at a stoplight if you are not used to them. The Ducati has pegs under you like a horse jockey, ready to jump and tense ready to go. Not necessarily comfortable for a long time. The vintage BMW is like you are setting at the dinner table. Stable and tolerable for a while. Alas, it has almost wooden drum brakes.
Remember to put your feet down. lol May the force be with you!
